through  all  the  Ijunations  of  each  Year,  Forever.  4 

This  table  and  the  accompanying  remarks  are  tlie  result    f 
of  many  years'   actual  observation,  the  whole  being  con-      *' 
Btructed  on  a  due  consideration  of  the  attraction  of  the  suu 
and  moon,  in  their  several  positions  respecting  the  earth,    ^"^ 
and  will  by  simple  inspection,  show  the  observer  what  kind 
of  weather  will  most  probably  follow  the  entrance  of  the 
moon  into  any  of  its  quarters,  and  tl*at  so  near  the  truth, 
as  to  be  seldom  or  never  found  to  fail.

Observa(io7is.—-l.  The  nearer  the  time  of  the  moon's  change 
first  quarter,  full  and  last  quarter,  are  to  midnight,  the 
fairer  will  the  weather  be  during  the  seven  days  following. 

2.  The  space  for  this  calculation  occupies  from  ten  at 
night  till  two  next  morning. 

3.  The  nearer  to  midday  or  noon,  the  phases  of  the  moon 
happens,  the  more  foul  or  wet  weather  may  be  expected 
during  the  next  seven  days. 

4.  The  space  for  this  calculation  occupies  from  ten  in  the 
forenoon  to  two  in  the  afternoon.  These  observations  refer 
principally  to  the  summer,  though  they  affect  spring  and 
autumn  nearly  in  the  same  ratio. 

5.  The  moon's  change,  first  quarter,  full  and  last  quarter, 
happening  during  six  of  the  afternoon  hours,  i.  c,  from  four 
to  ten,  may  be  followed  by  fair  weather  ;  but  this  is  mostly 
dependent  on  the  wind,  as  is  noted  in  the  table. 

6.  Though  the  weather,  from  a  variety  of  irregular  causes, 
is  more  uncertain  in  the  latter  part  of  autumn,  the  whole  of 
winter,  and  the  beginning  of  spring,  yet  in  the  main,  the 
above  observations  will  apply  to  those  periods  also, 

7.  To  prognosticate  correctly,  especially  in  those  cases 
where  the  wind  is  concerned,  the  observer  should  be  within 
sight  of  a  go(f^  vane,  when  the  four  cardinal  points  of  the 
heavens  are  correctly  placed.

Nrwrnbcr. — Endeavor  to  avoid  having  your  garden  products  frozen  fast 
in  the  ground;  begin  in  goofi»parnest  to  secure  tliem.  Cabbage  may  be 
taken  up  and  laid  in  rows  against  a  ridge,  so  as  to  form  a  square,  compact, 
close-growing  ]v  d,  the  roots  and  stems  being  buried  up  to  the  lower  le?ives 
in  Cabbages.  The  beds  may  then  be  oovenMl  with  stiaw,  or  a  temporary 
shed  erected  over  them. 

The  pleasantest  things  in  the  world  are  pl.-a.^ant  thoughts,  and  the  great- 
est art  in  life  is  to  have  as  many  of  them  as  possible.
